i want to paint everything
and in everyway

but i have learned that it's incredibly difficult to be great or greatly known for many things...

atleast not in the artworld

i guess you're supposed to focus into one style
subject matter
or concept

focusing in more that one thing means you're still exploring
and there is a lack of strength or conviction
in your craft

but my conviction is that an artist is an artist
whatever tools or subject you give an artist
the artist will create

i am struggling
to change my outward conviction
so that i and my work will get noticed

i do admit that i am in this game to be well regarded

but my inner conviction remains

i want to paint everything
and in everyway

how do i achieve my goal of critical aclaim and still stay true to my inner conviction?

can i, or should i even try?
